Pesticide work group

The Maryland Pesticide Reporting and Information Work Group will meet Aug. 12 in Annapolis.

The group, which consists of elected lawmakers and representatives of various interest groups, was created as a result of legislation that was approved during the 2013 session of the Maryland General Assembly.

It is tasked with trying to find out if there are any gaps in data about pesticide use in the state and deciding whether there is a need to create a reporting program for pesticide users, including farmers.
